The federal coordinator of IU, Antonio Maíllo, mentioned the importance of fundamental decisions like the election of a spokesperson being shared by all. Compromís, for its part, considers the crisis caused by allegations of sexual violence against the former president of the parliamentary group as an opportunity for a complete reorganization of the Sumar group in Congress following the Errejón case.
They stated that the election of a new spokesperson is urgent, but no date has been set. The reorganization of the group involves significant changes in the political space. Txema Guijarro, Secretary of Organization of the Sumar group in Congress, expressed that it is vital to take advantage of this crisis to promote necessary modifications.
The decision to postpone the conclave depends on the coordinating group, and the election of the new spokesperson will be an agreement of the group's leadership, not exclusively of Movimiento Sumar. The election of a woman as spokesperson is a general consensus. To date, no information has been revealed about the accusations.
In light of the uncertainty, it has been suggested that decision-making be participative and democratic, avoiding verticalities. The election of the next spokesperson in Congress will lead to changes in the deputy and substitute spokespersons, as well as in the reorganization of the committees.
The political space has not yet defined who will hold the spokesperson position, but the name of Ada Colau has emerged as a possible candidate. A complete restructuring is expected before the election of the new spokesperson of Congress. The member organizations of Sumar have agreed that the current crisis is a hard blow that must be managed with care and consensus. It will take time to find a suitable solution.
